Sharpening

[Vulcan]

Ha Ha, here we go again.

Just a new sharpening jig that popped up on my YouTube feed. Enjoy, hate, or burst a blood vessel!

I burst a blood vessel.

Drives me nuts with these best sharpening methods, what is their real life experience. I don't use any jigs when sharpening chisels or planner blades. Ok , if i'm a few degrees off I don't give a f--k. When on a job site and I have a dull chisel or iron or whatever I sharpen it on an electric belt sander! Lets get real with reality. Hell I have even used a flat stone ie. rock. Sorry in advance to you purists. Do you actually make a living doing wood work?

It is a never ending wa-k-r land of sharpening methods. I feel sorry for those who think these people are experts. Really lets get a grip on life.

Or are we all a bunch of bumbling fools! Not me and I'm sure not a lot on this site arn't? But the debate still persists, only for controversy which some are experts at.

There's another new jig, search for Dead Edge Honing Guide, works like a shooting board. This one is much more affordable though and looks quite good.

I guess it could be useful for some, not everyone wants to learn to sharpen freehand, or know freehand sharpening but prefer consistent angles with each sharpen.

Perhaps people just enjoy doing things differently.

Edit: Am I the only one who thinks it's insane how off the rail sharpening threads go on this forum?

These vids are great for the new ones to woodworking as they don't know the diff from reality to fluff.
